Why are there men answering questions in women's health???

Seriously, why would we want a man commenting on our FEMALE health issues, unless he is an ob/gyn?

I like sharing my life with my husband, not with a strange man on the internet. All I'm saying is that I don't think they are qualified to speak on women's health issues.

Because they are answering Health questions and don't necessarily notice that a certain question is listed under Women's Health. I don't always notice the specific category that a Health question is listed under.

because maybe, they are also knowledgeable about it. read what they have to answer. maybe, it also makes sense.

Men comment on Female health issues because THEY CARE..i don't mind if a man comments on my menstruation....its a fact of life...and men are our partners.....and they share our lives...unless you want to spend your life alone?........right?

Why do women answers in the mens health? Its just because if they feel they know the answer to the problem and they can answer.I have no problem with it.

When the answer is helpful and sincere, then it's great, it shows they care! Most guys are qualified to answer because most men have/have had a girlfriend or wife so they know! It only bugs me when it's some weirdo being obnoxious.

More importantly MR, why do you choose to publicly humiliate yourself from the answers to your question ? And why do you insist on displaying how childish & clueless you are ?

Dear Rose,

Your question is very relevant and intelligent. I try to explain, dont mind if it sounds a bit philosophical. First of all, never think than men and women are two separate entities. They are complementary to each other; that means one is just nothing without the other. Physically they are different, mentally they are different, psychologically they are different but spiritually and when we discuss at the ultimate levels of existence and the creation by God or whatsoever, then they are one.

Secondly, suppose they are not one or may be I am talking a bit deeper than it is required. Or some may say that I am talking more spiritual; then take it this way. Men being more into business, having more exposure, being more into the earning side (now dont raise a point here that women also have exposure or they are also earning; we are not discussing women's lib here), and because men being the breadwinner since the ancient times, have had to do everything. That's the reason today that the world's best cooks are males like John Ash, Ming Tsai, Thierry Blout, Sanjeev Kapoor, Antonia Carluccio and so son. The world's best designers are males like Edmundo, Givenchy, Gucci, Calvin, JJ Valaya and the list is endless. Similarly the world's best sexologists are known as Willam Masters, Dr.Zoldbrod, Dr. Joseph Piccolo, Dr.Jeffrey Kunz etc. Even the world's oldest book on sex Kamasutra of India was researched and written by Mr. Vatsayana.

Now dont take me wrong. I just dont mean by writing the male names above that women are not on the top of the world. They are also there in every sphere of life and profession. But first of all, their ratio is quite less (due to whatsoever reasons, may be male repression and ego), and second, women trust the knowledge of men.

Finally, men are partners of women. Intelligent and loving men are those, who take care of their female patners in all respects. I personally feel that women should not only be loved but they should be respected also. You will agree to me Rose that the families or religions or communities or countries where women are respected, are more happy, contented and live for longer.

Hence, men with all their natural knowledge about women health, men in the profession of medicine, and men being naturally curious about women, try to give replies to the female health problems which is reciprocal also. You will certainly find many many women replying about the men's helth also.

You may not agree to what I have tried to explain Rose, but that's my views based on my study and experience. Thanks for reading my reply and good luck to you.
